This little novel, part history, part travelogue, poses the question that has baffled students of the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche for more than century--What would Nietzsche's Revaluation of All Values taught of his view of the "value(s) of life" if the philosopher had indeed finished the "Revaluation," which he hinted at during his lifetime would be his final magnum opus?By creating a fictional account of Nietzsche's having finished the book during his period of presumed dementia from 1889 to 1900, and a Search (la cerca) for the "Values" by several friends over the last years of the twentieth century, the novel serves not only as a pre-quell to the Opera, "The Good European," but as a heuristic device challenging both serious and amateur scholars of Nietzsche to re-consider what the "Revaluation" would have revealed had it been completed and received as Nietzsche's final work, instead of the Will to Power, which was posthumously published by Nietzsche's mendacious sister, and became for many years the focus of Nietzsche's whole philosophy.
